Chapter 232
Song Heling shook his head and sighed, feeling both hope for his apprentice and the impossibility that the general could fall in love with someone else.
Zheng Meimei had no idea what Song Heling was thinking; her mind was in turmoil.
Song Heling thought that Zheng Meimei knew nothing about General Lu's affairs, but in fact, Zheng Meimei probably knew more than Song Heling.
Zheng Meimei even knew about General Lu Youning's future.
Lu Youning's life was not long; he passed away before the age of fifty.
His life was legendary. He was born as the crown prince, and as a young man, he followed his father on a military expedition, where he decisively defeated the Northern Di army on his first battlefield.
Before that, Dafeng had suffered nine defeats out of ten against the Northern Di, and had to send a princess to the Northern Di for a marriage alliance every year.
However, after Lu Youning appeared, the war situation between the two countries was reversed. The Northern Di were beaten down by Lu Youning until they finally took the initiative to offer tribute and seek peace.
However, his good fortune was short-lived. Lu Youning was severely wounded on the battlefield, leaving him crippled in both legs.
After Lu Youning left, the Northern Di army launched a counterattack, forcing Dafeng to retreat repeatedly.
This situation continued until Lu Youning miraculously stood up and returned to the battlefield.
After that, Lu Youning guarded the border forever. With him there, the Northern Di dared not invade Dafeng again. He was the pillar of Dafeng and a great hero of Dafeng.
He is also one of the ten most famous military geniuses in history.
Lu Youning is an idol to countless people in modern times and one of the top figures in history.
As a modern person, Zheng Meimei naturally knew Lu Youning's life story like the back of her hand.
Zheng Meimei had read many novels and watched many TV series adapted from Lu Youning's stories. She was not only a fan of Lu Youning, but also fantasized countless times about traveling through time to meet Lu Youning in person.
She knew, of course, that Lu Youning had a fiancée and that he might very well remain unmarried for life because of her.
But which girl doesn't dream of love? Which of Lu Youning's female fans, after learning about Lu Youning's lonely later life, doesn't fantasize about traveling back in time to become Lu Youning's lover and accompany him through his life?
After all, Lu Youning is not only a great hero, but also a devoted lover. Who wouldn't want such a perfect partner?
Thinking of this, Zheng Meimei's ears turned red again.
hey-hey.
Everyone fantasizes about time travel, but she was the only one who actually did, and she even traveled to Lu Youning, the great general, in his prime.
Heaven truly loves her!
Zheng Meimei unconsciously touched her slightly burning face.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves rang out outside. Zheng Meimei quickly put down the medicine grinder and hurriedly ran out.
Inside the tent, Song Heling shook his head and chuckled again, picking up the medicine grinder that Zheng Meimei had thrown away and continuing to grind the medicinal herbs.
His apprentice is good in every way, except that he is a bit reckless.
As soon as Zheng Meimei ran out of the tent, she saw a group of people riding towards her on horseback. The horses kicked up dust, and Zheng Meimei quickly fanned herself with her hand to avoid the yellow sand rushing towards her.
That's the bad thing about this military camp; you have to eat sand every day.
Despite having his own general's mansion, Lu Youning insisted on living in the military camp every day.
Otherwise, Zheng Meimei could have easily found a job at the General's Mansion, instead of coming to this military camp to suffer.
As Zheng Meimei fanned herself, she glanced at the group of mounted soldiers. They were all General Lu's personal guards, people who were to follow and protect the general at all times.
It seems the general has really returned.
Zheng Meimei was delighted, but when she looked at the front of the line, she didn't see Lu Youning.
Could they have already returned to their tents?
Zheng Meimei looked at the general's tent again, but it didn't seem like anyone was there. Zheng Meimei was full of doubt.
Someone burst into laughter, "Haha, is Doctor Zheng looking for the general?"
Zheng Meimei was startled and turned her head to see Jiao Xiongfei, the captain of her personal guards, standing beside her with the reins in his hand, looking at her with a teasing expression.
In the military camp, many people knew that Zheng Meimei had feelings for the general.
Normally, everyone would be annoyed if a woman pounced on the general and bothered him, but Zheng Meimei was different.
Zheng Meimei is very likable, and everyone is happy that the two of them can get together.
Especially Lu Youning's personal guards, they are the group of people who most want to see Lu Youning get married and have children.
Everyone else is getting married or starting families, but the general remains all alone, never returning home and spending his days in a cold, empty tent. He's so pitiful.
Moreover, as his personal guards, they knew more. Their general did indeed have someone in his heart, and was even lovesick for her. Because he couldn't have her, he didn't care much about his health.
No one knew that behind General Lu's undefeated record lay countless desperate attacks, putting himself in perilous situations without leaving himself any way out.
On several occasions, if it weren't for their personal guards risking their lives to rescue him, the general probably wouldn't have made it back.
No one knew that every time General Lu returned covered in wounds, he would rush back to the battlefield before he had fully recovered.
There are times when the general doesn't need to go into battle, and he can do it without getting hurt, but he does it as if he's torturing himself.
To put it bluntly, it's like actively seeking death.
This caused the guards a lot of worry, and the guard captain, Jiao Xiongfei, was so worried that he couldn't sleep.
To be honest, he cared more about the general getting married than he did about his own marriage.
He doesn't even have a wife, yet he tries to get close to any nice woman he sees, but unfortunately, the general doesn't appreciate it and has reprimanded him many times.
However, he has high hopes for Dr. Zheng Meimei this time.
She is beautiful inside and out, unlike any other woman before her; she is pure and sincere.
He decided to push things a little harder and make sure the two of them became a couple this time, so that their general could experience the joy of having a woman!
"I'm just worried that the general hasn't applied the medicine. This wound is so deep; it will be hard to heal if the medicine isn't applied on time!"
Zheng Meimei explained loudly, pulling Jiao Xiongfei back from his thoughts.
He looked down at Zheng Meimei, who was blushing and at a loss for what to do, and a glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.
“You’re right! The general’s injury can’t be delayed. The general is at the general’s residence right now and may not be back for a while. How about we trouble Doctor Zheng to go over there and apply some medicine for the general?”
No sooner had Jiao Xiongfei finished speaking than one of his personal guards anxiously called out, "Captain, the general doesn't want to be disturbed, have you forgotten..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Jiao Xiongfei glared at him, successfully silencing him.
Jiao Xiongfei knew what the man wanted to say.
Every year at this time, the general would always make time to return to his mansion, and he would send everyone away, leaving only himself in the house for ten days or so, not letting anyone near him or disturb him.
If anyone disturbs him at this time, they will have to bear his wrath. Not only will the person who disturbs him be punished, but even his personal guards will suffer because they failed to protect him properly.
The guards didn't want to be punished, but Jiao Xiongfei wanted to take the risk. He knew that the general was missing his fiancée at this moment, which was when he was most vulnerable and most easily able to break through his defenses.
At this moment, Zheng Meimei faces both danger and opportunity.
If he succeeds, everyone will be happy; if he fails, he will simply take full responsibility. In short, he will not let Zheng Meimei or his brothers be implicated or suffer.
